I spoke with Shafeeq Chacha from Lahore after a very long time today. Since many people in the Facebook World are not aware of his existence I will share a part of our conversation here. Shafeeq Chacha is a 82 year old former trade-unionist who now runs his own little shop where he and his sons work as cobblers (Mochi). I asked him: Fair key tajziya aye twaada sari situation tay? [Translation: What is your analysis of the situation] His answer was priceless: Jaddon tikkar Imran Khan kaptaan nahi banda ehnay chup nayee hona. Pehlay vey loki kehenday san k aye cricket team chay laraaiyaan karaanda aye tay team day maslay hal nahi hone; ess dey na khedna aye na kheddan dena aye dey policy navi nayee. Bari puraani aye kaaka [Translation: Imran Khan is not going to stop agitating until he becomes the captain. During his cricketing days he used to create discord within the team when he was not promoted to the position of captaincy. He has always had a I wont let anyone play (Aka party pooper) approach towards things. This policy is nothing new to him. It is a very old habit, son.
